Run it as an unprivileged user, e.g. inside your home directory or a
projects folder. The exact git command is what it says on the page:

git clone -b drm-i915-update-38 \
 https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-base-graphics.git

This is a separate experimental source tree. You could copy it over an
existing source tree at the time of the fork (e.g. using tar, also
including .git) and then svn update on top of this as well as git pull,
but unless you have a good reason, that's not worth the effort/trouble
and you just go with that branch until the changes get merged into HEAD.
